School Notes:

American Christian Academy is more than a school...

We are a family.

Some of our students have attended
American Christian since they were two years old, and some have
been with us only a short time. Each has brought something
different to our environment. Their combined experiences and
memories make up the heartbeat —the pulse— of our
school. It is a pulse that has been passed on from class to class
since 1979. Imagine a high-school graduation where a
student’s first grade teacher is present because she still
teaches at American Christian.

Our faculty and staff know your child’s name. They know their
personality, their needs, and their long-term goals. Our teachers
know your family. They know older brothers and sisters because they
have taught many of them through the years. Our high-school
students know the children in elementary school. They high-five
them in the hall and read with them during the week. They protect
them and care for them like little brothers or sisters
—because many of them are.

Our faculty, staff, and students care about each other because they
know we rise or fall as one body. Together we celebrate our
accomplishments and rally around those going through difficult
times. There have been instances where faculty, staff, students,
and fans have cheered for the Patriots on the football field, and
then gathered at the hospital to pray for an injured player. It is
this caring, nurturing environment that makes us a family, and one
of the many things that binds us together as a group.

We are a home.

American Christian is a comfortable, safe environment where your
child can blossom and explore new and creative areas of life. Each
day our teachers meet elementary students at their car door and
welcome them inside. Our high-school students gather in the parking
lot or the gym to talk about homework or after school activities.
When a student arrives at ACA, they feel like they are coming
home.

Because we serve preschool, elementary, and high-school students on
one campus, parents drop children off at only one location. Young
children are comforted to know that older siblings are only a few
feet away if needed.
After-school care and activities like athletics, piano and
guitar lessons, and karate give children a place to learn and play
even after school is over. Students often stay after class to talk
with teachers about assignments or to get trusted advice from
faculty and friends. American Christian is a home away from home,
and students don’t want to leave at the end of the day.

We are a community.

We are a close-knit group of people with unique gifts and talents.
Together, we want to model our school after the Lord Jesus, who
said, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if you love one another.” We teach our students to serve the
Lord by serving others and to treat each other with courtesy and
respect.

It starts in our preschool with our young students learning to
share, or to take turns on the playground, or to politely raise
their hands when they have questions. As they grow older, they
become role models for younger students and teammates. They learn
to recognize opportunities to help fellow classmates as they raise
money for a sick student who is in the hospital or gather to pray
for a classmate going through difficult times. They learn to make
their family, their school, and their community a better place.

Together our faculty and students embrace opportunities to serve.
Our first graders sing to the elderly in local nursing homes.
High-school students tutor younger children or throw a baseball
with kids who don’t have the privileges they do.
They’ve taken Christmas gifts to children in Argentina and
collected vitamins for orphans in China. Students have helped those
close to home by doing things like improving our neighborhood, and
they’ve helped those on the other side of the world with
projects like sending care packages to soldiers in
Iraq.
